30 pounds in 100 days #change #gottowin

Hi gvika, yeah - I'm in

I must be a bit dyslexic, I read this as 100 lbs and 30 days and was like...holy cow! :noway:

Just something to bear in mind:

Hitting thirty pounds in 100 days is doable for some and overly ambitious for others. How difficult it will be depends to some degree on how heavy you are right now. If you are only thirty pounds above goal it will be much more difficult than if, after losing 30 pounds, you will still be very overweight.

Think of it as losing a percentage of your body weight. 150 to 120 is 20% of your body weight. 300 to 270 is 10% of your body weight. Clearly, losing 10% is easier on you than losing 20%.

Best wishes to you!

tarcotti - you in?

I guess so, I only have 3 lbs left to go to reach 30! Haha

Although losing 30 more I doubt I will even try to do in 30 days. Just because the closer you get to your goal, the slower you try to lose, ex. 2 lbs/ week in the beginning vs. the end of the goal: .5 lbs/week.

sorry this is a little long, this is from one of Josie Gibson's dvd's (she won Britain's big brother a few years back and lost a ton of weight). Instead of posting a few random recipes I thought this would be more helpful. Or you could just type in recipes in google and see what pops up, best of luck...

There was a previous quote which was correct that at 2lb a week we are losing some muscle content so we need to keep workouts in there which, happily enough, gives me the extra calories I need when I get get close / go past my daily allowance which is pretty much every day.

Keep posting guys & girls,

Cheers,

Andy
